1 Effect of High Resolution Altimetric Gravity Anomalies on the North America Geoid Computations Yan M. Wang and D. Roman National Geodetic Survey NOAA Montreal, Canada, May 17-21, 2004

3 Gravimetric geoid computation Stokes integral /1DFFT Topographic reduction: terrain correction at 1/3/30 arc seconds EGM96 remove/restore: gravity anomaly of the reference model is removed, reference geoid is added back to residual geoid Indirect effect

4 Data Used for USGG2003 NGS gravity database: 1,264,372 NIMA gravity data: 2,064,898 Altimetric gravity anomaly: 688,876 GTOPO30 and NGSDEM99 EGM96 global gravity model up to degree and order 360 Ellipsoidal correction from Sideris et al. (2003)

20 Conclusions Altimetry gravity models differ at ±3 mgal RMS values (excluding few outliers in KMS99) Geoid differences can reach 10 cm in coastal regions (land area), few cm in areas thousand miles away from the ocean Geoid changes caused by GSFC00.1 improve the US gravimetric geoid

21 Conclusions (cont.) Sea surface topography implied by GSFC00.1 MSS and USGG03 closely emulate the POCM4b Ocean/land interface problems (diff. reference systems, lack gravity data)
